1st Hour - Week of 11-19-12

I'm in a gift giving mood this week, and I'm sure you'll all be thankful for it. Since we only have one and a half days of school this week, blogging will either:

1. Give you a grade toward a blog you have a zero for, or...
2. Give you extra credit.

If you need an organizer to help you, please take one before you leave for the long weekend. Have fun! :)

  1. Book: the throne of fire
    Author: Rick Riordan

    (My book so far:) Sadie has gone to France to meet her friends to celebrate her birthday but when she got home 2 gods ( the vulture goddess and the baboon god) have taken over her grandparents and now are trying to hunt her and her friends down.

    (predictions/questions:) i predict that some kind of magician is going to save Sadie and her friends from the baboon god and the vulture goddess/ if Sadie's friends can see the baboon god and the vulture god doesn't that mean their the blood of the Pharaoh's too?

  2. Title: MockingJay By Suzanne Collins
    Topic: Conflict
    Right now in my book katniss is having a lot of conflict with almost everybody around her, but mostly with the capitol. the capitol (The gunger games board) doesnt like katniss mostly because of what she did in her first hunger games. Now its all up to katniss and her team (district 13) to over power all of the districts, including the capitol. I think that as the book continues that katniss and her team are going to be victorious. but she is going to need her team, cause there's no way that she will be able to do this by herself. Also my question is why would the capitol make such a thing for entertainment like the hunger games?

  4. Mr. Tucket
    By: Gary Paulsen
    Right now in my book Francis is wrestling with a Indian boy to keep his rifle, and to get buckskin. But, the Indian boy seamed to be a bigger match for Francis, because Francis is face down on the ground do to a divesting blow to the stomach. I can tell that Francis is in a lot of pain because in the text it said he relaxed and got a grip and pulled the Indian boy right on to his back so hard the ground shake. To me this means never get into a fight when your completely out match but try your best to win because you have skill.

  5. Book: The throne of fire
    Author: Rick Riordan

    (In my book so far:) Sadie and carter were captured by the palace of light a powerful cult of magicians. While in there carter got poisoned by the interrogator, it was set their worst enemy that had to save them in return Sadie had to do a favor for set that could backfire big time

    questions:) i have had a big question for a long time is set good or bad? (why i like this question is:) set has fought and nearly killed them and now he's helping them escape a powerful magicians cult its kinda like a roller-coaster with set one minute he's going down (being evil) then he's going up (being nice)... what do you think about set the god of chaos.

  6. Monster
    By; Walter Dean Myers

    Right now in my book my character Steve is pleading guilty and even saying he wasn't there when the murder and robbery was taken place. But, the jury isn't sure they believe him because he has talked to King before and King was the one who robbed the drugstore. As if right now, I have no idea who killed the old man who owned the store but all I know is that they won't get away with it that's for sure. Steve is so nervous because basically his life is on the line if they say he's guilty of the crime he will get 25 to life. That's a pretty long time to be in jail/prison he's talking in the book about how hard it is already to sleep in there & he talks about when he cries at night. In my response to all of this is that it's crazy, they had some people from his school come in and talk about him & they all reported that he is a wonderful kid & a great student. And, they still aren't sure because he's African American which to me isn't cool it's so stupid how they are gunna be weird about it because he's black. I wonder who the killer is?

  7. Breaking Dawn Book Three Bella
    by Stephenie Meyer
    Right now in my book Bella is up and walking around after she gave birth to her beautiful daughter Renessma and being turn into a vampire. Edward is now teaching her the basic hunting skills him and his family use to her and so far it is going very well. Bella loves being who she is now because she is noticing things she has never noticed before and her love for Edward has grown stronger!! Even though hunting was amazing for her, there was nothing she wanted more but to see her daughter who was being watched by Rosalie and Jacob. Confusion is brought to Bella's mind because she couldn't understand how Jacob could even stand being around her baby when she has brought nothing but horrible pain to him with the choice of her becoming a vampire and the love he had for her when she did not feel the same way back. later on finding out that he has imprinted on her daughter. Knowing that, Bella's thoughts on Jacob some what change because of the whole thing and now that Bella is stronger and more intelligent she feels like she has to defend her daughter from the love her best friend has for Renessma.
    This is important because it shows that now Bella has a very big problem with Jacob and brings curiosity to the readers and makes them wonder what this will do to Bela's and Jacob's friendship. Also it shows that Bella has more problems to deal with then she trying to adjust to the whole change.
    This helps me understand that Bella is now a stronger and caring mother and would do anything to protect her newly loveable daughter. And that the story will only get more and more interesting along the way.

  8. Pray Hard by Pamela Walker
    Right now in my book Amelia and her family are painting lawn ornaments to put all over her dads runway.And for once she is okay with it.
    What I think will happen next is Brother mustard seed is going to join the family and Amelia will believe what he says from now on.
    I think this because in my book it says that Amelia went through a lot of trouble to find his hat he needed.Also they are getting along really well.
    To me this means Amelia has really come out of her shell and showed him, her true self.

  9. blackout girl
    by Jennifer storm
    right now in my book Jennifer is remembering her childhood and all her moves... she remembers her friend Kristen and all the good times they had together ..... Jennifer remembers going to the roller rink with her hair up as high as it can be ...Jennifer also did some stuff she wishes she had never done ,like smoking at the age 11, never parents never knew because she didn't want to tell them about..she knew if she told them she would be in trouble..i think the stuff she did as a child wasn't a good thing ..like smoking it can be really bad for you...... the author said that" she wishes she had never done that stuff" i understand this because it tell me that if you do something ,you will never forget and wish you have never done that in the first place....

  10. title Artemis Fowl
    By Eoin Colfer
    right now in my book Artemis is in a conference with the main L.E.P. officer Commander Root their talking about being on each others side but i don't know what is going to happen next.
    i can tell that root is thinking about this talk
    because the, author says "i Will have to think about this because i still don't trust u human" says root. this helps me understand that root is willing to become allys with Artemis side but why when holly is being held captive in the house somewhere

  11. Book: The Alchemist the Secret of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel
    Author: Michael Scott
    Right now in my book Sophie has got magic powers awoken. Her brother , Josh, is a little jealous because his powers were not awoken. Then they went south to see a witch to train Sophie in air magic. Dr. Dee found them there and they had to run away. I think Dee is going to make Josh want to work with the Dark Elders. The Book talks a lot about a prophecy. In it , it says that a pair of twins will save/end the world. One twin will help save the world and one will help end it. This helps me understand that Sophie or Josh will help Dr.Dee at some point.
    I think that it is more likely that Josh will help Dee because Josh doesn't trust Nicholas that much and Sophie does trust Nicholas.
